Last week, we posted an urgent request for a foster home for Aries, a male Border Collie, after his owner sadly lost their home. We are so thankful to everyone who reached out to help. ❤️
What many people didn't know is that Aries arrived with another dog, Gemma, an Australian Shepherd mix. While we thought we had found a suitable placement for Gemma, unfortunately she was very nervous around the resident dogs in the home.
Thankfully, we received a foster offer to provide a temporary placement for both dogs during the last-minute emergency intake, and we are now grateful to our friends at Tyson N friends for stepping in to help temporarily.
📢 We are looking for TWO SEPARATE foster homes, with NO OTHER PETS, for Gemma and Aries.
Both dogs are friendly and affectionate and enjoy spending time outdoors, receiving pets, and cuddling with their people.💕
However, they have had very limited socialization with other dogs and can be reactive toward them. Because of this, they will need homes where they can be the only pets so they can thrive and reach their full potential.
A few things to know:
- Both enjoy being outdoors and with people
-Both dogs will benefit from training and structure.
-They are not currently crate trained, but we are working on that.
-They are not accustomed to leash walking and will need patience and guidance as they learn.
- Gemma was born with a slight deformity in her left paw. It does not affect her mobility, but she may occasionally need breaks when walking or exercising.
-Gemma is not yet spayed, but that will be arranged through the rescue. She tends to bond more quickly with women
- Aries is a bit overweight and will need help with his weight loss journey.
We are hoping to find patient, loving foster homes that can provide the care, stability, and training these dogs need while they wait for their next chapter.
As always, Marley's Pet Rescue will provide food, supplies, and cover any veterinary care that may be required.
